She started exhibiting the symptoms of Guillain-Barré Syndrome around the time she was vaccinated and continues to struggle with it. The family claims the vaccine did it, you know, because they happened at the same time. The family has decided not to treat her with medication and is going the natural route, which makes me wonder if there was some initial distrust of medicines that contributed to the blaming of the vaccination.
It is impossible to prove that the vaccine had anything to do with Guillain-Barré Syndrome. It occurs in 1-2/100,000 people in their teens for no apparent reason. It is believed that surgery, respiratory infections and, yes, even vaccines can trigger it. Still, the cause is not known and neither is how it is triggered. It is interesting to note that Ms. Tunley started the vaccine when seeing a doctor for a followup for treatment of a respiratory illness. The CDC pretty much calls BS on the whole thing anyway: 35 million doses have been distributed. 18,700 adverse events have been reported. 1,500 of those have been considered serious (requiring a hospital visit). 68 deaths have been reported. 32 have been confirmed. Some of these were caused by unrelated problems (blood clots in women smokers on birth control, etc.) Those are some pretty good odds, if you ask me .. literally less than one in a million chance of death. Odds go higher than that simply by walking out the front door. They look like the odds of just about any vaccine resulting in bad things happening ... just .004% Most colleges require that one's MMRV and Hep. vaccines be up to date. No one is bitching about that requirement even though those vaccines have serious side effects in rare cases. Mr. Tunley is looking for something/someone to blame. Many others don't even have a clue what they are afraid of. The rest are hung up on the "OMG teenage sex" connection that conservatives like to pretend doesn't happen.
